- In this video I'll show you a simple and inexpensive way to create a frog conservation area and attract toads and frogs to your yard and garden. Just like many animals today, frogs are suffering from a decline in numbers. Frogs are an important part of the earth's ecosystem and they need our help. Watch the video and you can do your part by creating your own frog conservation area in your yard or garden. I hope you enjoy the video.

Just bought two of these dishes for my frog(s) today and put them in two areas of my garden.
That’s great.
Awesome 😎
@@mohammadalrabiah5300 thank you 😀
Great video - you should look into adding some native plants to your area. A lot of insects require them, which means more food for the frogs
Thank you very much. Well, I should have shown the rest of the garden in that video, it’s basically my entire back yard and aside from a lot of roses there’s all kinds of plants, some native like cone flowers and black eye susans, and other things. There’s also a meadow and a pond behind all of that. Lots of insects and sometimes things like foxes and deer come visit the garden too. Maybe next time it’s all in bloom I’ll do a video on that.
I loved watching your video! I put in a drain to pull rainwater away from my house and now there's a small pond about 3 feet wide and 6 feet long. It's about 12 ti 14 inches deep. I'm thrilled to see a few frogs in it. Today I noticed green slim covering the top of the water so I Googled how to remove it. I then gently used a long prong rake to remove it. The bottom is mud which I read the frogs will burrow in during our cold winter. I love visiting this area to check on my new friends!
The bigger it is the harder it is to keep clean and big enough would need a pump and filter.
This video is so helpful! Thanks for the inspiration and education.
You’re very welcome. I’m glad you liked it.
Thank you for this! I will be using this idea. 🐸
You’re very welcome. 😀
I loved this video. It was exactly what I was looking for. Also, from what little I can see of your garden, it's very pretty...and sounds very healthy. 😊
Thank you. I’m glad it was helpful. It has been a beautiful garden. Although in the last 3 years I’ve been fighting a loosing battle against invasive thistle. This summer the entire garden is getting some total overhauling because of it.
Yes Sir thank you for sharing this knowledge with us 💕
You're very welcome
This is great!
Thank you.
this is great !
Thanks. Did you watch the video about the boa constrictor enclosure build. I stole your philodendron. 😀
Your frogs are very cute!
Anyway this was helpful because I was thinking about getting a frog 🐸
Thank you. I’m glad it was helpful.
Thank you 😁
You're welcome 😀
Thanks
You're welcome. 😀
Thanks so much for your video.
I put in a pond 6 months ago,1st time... made a lot of great mistakes. Leart about bogg filters and mad one.
I'm on summer break here in Qld Australia, and all I've wanted was to add a frog sanctuary.
Lots of resurch. You covered e erything a newbie needed to know.
Many thanks 🙏
I'm going to share your video
Thanks so much.
Great vid man
Thanks. I really appreciate hearing that.
This is a great video. We've been working our chem free, native garden and noticed a bunch of tiny frogs this year. I see it as a great sign! Now i want to learn how to further support them
That’s awesome
My backyard is never mowed or treated with any chemicals either. I'm working on my 70% native plant goal. Last summer, I found a toad back there. I was so happy and proud of my accomplishment, though I have no idea how he got there. Every other yard around me is poisoned with chemicals repeatedly. My little toad must have been dropped off by a friendly bird 😂
Great video!
Does anybody know of a natural cat repellent for a frog garden?
@@alliehamilton-calhoun162 They do have a habit of appearing out of nowhere, :) I have a pond in my backyard and I always see it as a good sign when I see them.
Very nice video, I’m currently in the process of making a little wildlife pond
Thank you 😀
Well done! Keep making videos! Also, thank you for your help with my green anole, he’s doing great. I’m here for it all but I would love to see more of Snap, Crackle, and Pop!
Thank you so much. I’m really glad your anole is doing well. What’s his name? I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of snap, crackle and pop in the future. 😀
@@WonderfulWorldReptiles his name is Summer! Which is both a reference to Game of Thrones and a reference to South Carolina, where my family and I spend time during the Summer! Thank you for asking!
@@stephenseger19 excellent
Love that idea. Thank you. Where I live (Australia) we have pesky poisonous introduced Cane Toads. We are advised to keep them out of our ponds & frog hotels etc we make our structures 60 cm high as toads don't jump and frog goes do.
I can’t imagine all of the cane toads. I think maybe I’d fall in love with them though. 😂
Thanks, your video was inspiring, I went outside soon after and made one. Hopefully it'll attract some tenants. Lotsa' rain in our part of the country recently so I'm hopeful.
That’s excellent.😀
I would recommend putting some rice fish or mosquito fish in there. That's because in most areas, mosquitos will show up much faster than frogs will.
Good idea, I should give that a try.
Not in a shallow dish like that, I hope!
It depends on the evaporation rate. If mosquitoes can breed in the water that collects in a tire, they can breed in a shallow dish of water too.@@Moamanly
@@user-ip7tv6cc8z I meant that the fish require better conditions than a shallow dish would provide. They need deeper water with good oxygenation+ stable PH parameters.
That requires some aquatic plants that will draw on the excess nutrients-it isn't difficult to achieve though.
White Cloud Mountain Minnows do an excellent job in keep water free of mosquitoes as well as the fish previously mentioned.
Cats that people let roam outside exterminate frogs. I had a toad in my yard, it was attacked by stray cats.
Everything eats them.
@@WonderfulWorldReptiles The only difference is that cats are invasive species bred by humans and frogs are actually native and beneficial. I cant stress enough the importance of keeping the cat inside.
@@SH-jy6lc good point, I never thought about that.
I have moved to a house and it has a barrel pond, Im not sure if i should empty/clean it or leave it alone.
I kind of want to add some plants in there.
the house was left for years so its all overgrown and you cant really see very deeply into the water.
That sounds neat. I think it would be worth the trouble of cleaning out and planting.
Could I put paver sand or something on the bottom to make it softer for the frogs?
I’m sure sand or gravel would be fine.
I've had a few little frogs in my yard this year, but I don't have a pond. I just found tadpoles in my rain barrel, which is a plastic garbage can. It is the middle of May, I think the water will heat up before the tadpoles mature. I understand they prefer shallow water, anyway. I want to help the frogs, but without a place for the tadpoles to grow, it doesn't seem that smart to set out trays of water.
You’re right. It seems brutal but frogs and toads breed for quantity over quality knowing that a majority of the offspring won’t survive. When the American toads hatch out I have some days where there are hundreds of toadlets in my yard. I don’t cut the grass at that time, but other then that, there nothing to be done to save them all.
@@WonderfulWorldReptiles I did make a little water spot, just like you did. I have never seen a frog around it, but it stays full of water, to my surprise.
But what to do about the mosquito problem
Mosquitos don’t get to bad here where I live. If I see mosquitos I just empty it out and refill it with fresh water.
How deal with mosquitos? No flowing water would produce them like crazy
Well, where I live the mosquitos don’t get too bad. I have 3 of these in my garden and I really haven’t seen mosquitos in them. I water the garden a lot too so I end up splashing old the old water and everything in it and fill it with fresh water.
Are you using well water or Or chloronated water. Or does it matter
I put collected rainwater in them but the garden gets watered with a hose so that ends up going in there.
what about mosquitos?
For me I end up watering the garden so much that the water keeps getting changed. But I use water from the hose so frogs are getting tap water part of the time.
@@WonderfulWorldReptiles where's the follow up video? We want to see frogs in your sanctuary. :)
@@SchondorfEnt Oh my gosh, I wish I could do that, but I've had a problem. My entire garden exploded with invasive thistles and a lot of it had to be dug up and completely renovated. All 3 of my frog ponds are in a big box in my garage for the time being.
will this attract mosquitoes since its still water? or since animals will be visiting it will it be fine
I suppose it would be able to attract mosquitoes. It’s basically a tiny pond.
@@WonderfulWorldReptiles Do you clean these dishes out every once in awhile?
@@julienielsen3746 Sometimes when I’m watering the garden I put the hose on jet and kind of blow everything out of it and then fill them with fresh water. But not all the time. Sometimes if the weather is dry I just fill them with water from the hose.
@@WonderfulWorldReptiles I just wondered if they like it more "slimy" or clean. Or does it seem to matter? Thanks for the video.
@@julienielsen3746 I think being a little more natural would attract or keep them there more then being constantly cleaned.
Wrong, you cannot apply purpose to something just because it does what you are attributing to it doesn't mean it is a purpose. Purpose is a human concept not a natural one.

OMG. What even are you talking about?! Way to overanalyze a nice little frog video..... your attempt at sounding intellectual isn't working, bub. 😂
👍🇦🇺👏❤🐾💙🐾💛🐾🧡🐾💚🐾
😀😀😀😀
Do you keep the saucer filled with water when it dries out? I'm doing something similar in my yard.
I do, but since it’s on the side of my garden it gets filled when I water the garden anyway. I don’t worry too much if it gets dry every now and then. It’s not necessarily a place where they choose to live but more of a place that they can find water. I do see frogs in it though.
